But somehow still in an 18-25 range, or something like that. Or basically, a college setting.

It's just that there's so many high school anime out there that I can't sort out the anime where the characters are a bit older. :P Not being in high school anymore there's not as much anime to relate to, lol.

I know about Genshiken already (and I wasn't terribly interested in it anyways, idk if it's worth trying?), and Welcome to the NHK. (which I did like, though). Any more? Thanks!

I mean, I'm not closed off to ones that are above 25, though. In fact, as long as it's older than 18, that's what my topic was referring to.

Thanks for the suggestions thus far! I've heard of half of them (and should get around to sometime...) and taken note of the other half.

Most of the main characters in the first season of Darker than Black are over 18, not so much in the second.

Ahh this is my kind of thread, I am always looking for this sort of anime, when I have no luck I just go for the non-school oriented ones even if it has younger characters, is refreshing not to see a story line based in teenage school life! so you will find plenty in my list, some "college setting kind of feeling" that come to mind:

death note
elfen lied
golden boy (oldy, funny in a pervy way but no pretty animation)
Hana yori Dango (oldy looks again, very girly story)
Itazura na Kiss (oldy AND girly again... they start in High school but they grow up)
Ristorante Paradiso (girlish/gayish... sorry I am a girl!!!)

If you're looking for anime where the characters are older than around college, there is also Hataraki Man and Bartender to look into.

Love Hina has several main characters around the 18-25 range aiming for College. The characters also get older throughout the manga.

Theres also Psycho-Pass where all the characters are at least 20 years old.

And Fate/Zero, pretty much all of the contestants are adults.

Golden Time... Some characters have problems acting their age at times, but it's within a college setting. Oh wait, they're freshman, but it's normal for them to act like high schoolers.
